If you’re thinking about heading down to see Prince in Camden after work, maybe it’s time to reconsider your plans once you’ve seen the queue.

The tiny Purple One isn’t expected at the Electric Ballroom until later tonight but that hasn’t stopped scores of fans flocking to the venue braving both the tube strike and the rain to wait patiently on the street outside armed with umbrellas.

According to the Evening Standard, tickets costing just £10 will be available on a first come, first serve basis from 7pm.

Richard Osley, deputy editor of Camden New Journal, has taken a Vine video showing the huge queue snaking down the road with reports that around 1500 people are already waiting to get into the 1000-person venue.

purplehassan tweeted: ‘#prince queue is about 1500 and still growing, security says me and mrs are around the middle. 1 ticket per person seems good.’
